Q 12 The standard potential

With the help of the standard hydrogen half-cell, the potentials of all other half-cells can be determined. The standard hydrogen half-cell represents the defined 0-point. Therefore, these measured potentials are referred to as standard potentials. Original: "Wolfgang Dukorn" Original: German. All

Hazard vs Risk - Same Difference?

Asteroid Closely Passes Earth

Learn about Earth's close encounter with asteroid 2012 DA14 on February 15, 2013, in this video from NASA. Asteroid 2012 DA14 passed safely about 17,000 miles (27,000 kilometers) from Earth's surface. Its orbit was well known and scientists were not worried about a possible collision. NASA observes

Video: Dawn - one year at the asteroid Vesta

From the more than 28,000 images acquired by Dawn between July 2011 and August 2012, DLR scientists computed a global digital surface model of Vesta. Ralf Jaumann, head of DLR's Dawn scientific team, explains a few spectacular observations with the help of this virtual flight over Vesta. The animati

Swift and Hubble Probe an Asteroid Crash

Discover how astronomers determined the unexpected brightening of an asteroid named Scheila was likely the result of an impact with a much smaller asteroid. This video from NASA looks at how the Swift satellite and the Hubble Space Telescope helped astronomers investigate what they thought was an un
